The Lowdown
Alright, crew. Rusty here. Let's level with each other. The outlook for Karramarro over the next sixteen days is a lean one. We're looking at a long, flat stretch, with nothing worth paddling out for from the start all the way through until the morning of Friday, August 7th.
The first real sign of life comes on the Friday morning of the 7th of August. It's a weak, small pulse from the northwest – about 2 feet, with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it's going to be bumpy and messy. The combined energy is a paltry 37 (weak energy), which tells you everything. By Friday afternoon, the swell lifts a little to 3 feet from the northwest, and the period gets to 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 139 (moderate energy), but it's still got a light cross-onshore wind. Not clean, not good.
Your best bet is probably the Saturday morning of the 8th of August. The swell drops back to 3 feet from the west-northwest, but the wind goes glassy. That's a huge positive. The combined energy is 59 (weak energy), so it's still gutless, but the glassy conditions will make it look a lot more inviting. You might find a few waist-high runners at the point. Be ready for crowds, because this spot can get busy.
From there, it's a slow fade. The 9th of August has a glassy morning but the swell is back to 1 feet with a long period of 11 seconds from the northwest. The combined energy is 72 (weak energy). That long period with such a small swell means the energy is spread out, making it a real grind to get into anything.
The rest of the second week is a bust. Swell stays tiny, under 2 feet, with periods all over the place and winds that are mostly cross or cross-on. No standouts. The water temperature is about normal for the time of year.
If you've got a longboard and a whole lot of patience, the glassy mornings of the 8th or 9th are your only real window. Otherwise, it's time to wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.

Information about the Karramarro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Karramarro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Karramarro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Karramarro surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Karramarro) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Karramarro may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
